Both the uncle's attitude towards Fortinbras and Claudius's attitude towards Hamlet reflect a blend of manipulation and contempt. The uncle dismisses Fortinbras's ambitions, viewing him as a threat to be controlled, similar to how Claudius perceives Hamlet's potential as a rival to his throne. Both characters use political maneuvering to maintain their power, underestimating the resolve and capabilities of their respective nephews. Ultimately, this leads to a fatal underestimation of their opponents' determination and ambition.

How is polonius advising Claudius regarding foreign affairs and Hamlet?
As Claudius's advisor, it was Polonius's job to advise him on all matters of state. We presume that Polonius advised Claudius to deal with Fortinbras diplomatically through his uncle the king of Norway. This appears to have been successful. He also advised Claudius that in his opinion Hamlet was suffering from unrequited love for Ophelia and the best way to find out what was going on with Hamlet was to throw everyone Hamlet appears to have cared about at him, including Ophelia, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern and Gertrude, and spy on the conversation. This was not such good advice.
